Nasrallah articulated, "America will remain the primary enemy of this nation and the greatest Satan of all. Israel will forever be, in our eyes, a cancerous growth that must be eradicated, an artificial entity that should be removed, even if all the rulers of the world recognize it. Palestine—all of Palestine—will remain part of this nation, and we shall not relinquish a single grain of its sand."

As New Yorkers rallied against the zionist entity’s indiscriminate bombing in Lebanon, which massacred over 550 civilians, the NYPD responded with its own brand of terrorism by targeting Abdullah. This attack is part of a broader pattern of repression against Palestinian liberation leaders in NYC, mirroring the IOF’s attempts to destroy resistance by targeting leaders across the Palestinian Resistance and Axis of Resistance.

Yesterday, the NYPD shot Derell Mickles, a Black man in Brooklyn for the alleged "crime" of jumping a turnstile. This marks the second NYPD shooting in just 48 hours. Amidst a landscape where Democrat political figures swiftly condemned recent assassination attempts on Donald Trump, proclaiming that "violence has no place in America," we ask: where is this sentiment when it comes to the NYPD shooting Black men?

Black August to Bronxites signifies organizing material actions to advance breaking off the chains of colonialism, imperialism, capitalism, and white supremacy. It is a month of honoring our martyrs and advancing the movement to free our prisoners and smash all forms of carceralism in this prison house of nations.

Our organization felt it was important to share our experience in Nicaragua during the 45th Anniversary of the Sandinista Revolution on July 19th with our people in the Bronx.

During our trip to Nicaragua, we never thought we would meet Leila Khaled. However, her visit during this time in July is actually no surprise to those familiar with the details of her life and the parallels between the Palestinian and Nicaraguan liberation struggles.

The Bronx Anti-War Coalition stands in solidarity with the Nicaraguan people on the 45th anniversary of the 1979 Sandinista revolution. This revolution ended the U.S.-backed Somoza dictatorship and U.S. occupation.

We do not celebrate imperialism, death, and destruction; instead, we organize for liberation from it.

We reject the colonizers' so-called “Independence Day” and propose that July 4th be recognized as an International Day of Struggle Against US Imperialism.

Members of the Bronx Antiwar Coalition were among those brutalized by the pigs on Nakba Day in Bay Ridge. This violence only intensifies our commitment to defend Palestine and to rid the world of US imperialism and the state agents forcing its existence. We will continue to rally against the occupation and genocide in Palestine and defend Gaza at whatever cost and by any means necessary.

Bronxites need housing as a human right and a guaranteed job. We need free universal healthcare and free mass transportation. Instead of funding a genocide, you should be focused on meeting our needs and reconstructing our public education system, getting rid of all the failing charter schools, and demanding universal programs as they have in almost every other country, where every person gets exactly the same quality of resources, and where every child begins their development on a truly equal playing field.

The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine condemns the repressive practices of the administrations of universities in the United States, and affirms its support for the struggle of the student movement in support of Palestine.

The Bronx Antiwar Coalition affirms that there is no liberation without the freedom of all prisoners from the prisons of the zionist entity and Palestinian Authority.

Bourgeois feminism splinters feminist liberation movements, often by co-opting progressive ideas about women’s rights while using racist tactics to justify colonization.

In honor of Black History Month, the Bronx Antiwar Coalition would like to highlight just some of the ways that Black and Palestinians, as oppressed peoples, continue to fight for liberation both in our respective communities and together in our collective struggle against imperial powers.

New Yorkers should carefully contemplate how such legislation enables the draconian punishment of activism

Aaron Bushnell’s final words, “Free Palestine,” encapsulate both his last breath and his driving force. It is imperative that this message remain at the forefront.

Hollywood and professional sports celebrities, too, are mere pawns used to distract us from U.S.-funded genocidal crimes.

Ritchie Torres and Adriano Espaillat clarified their priorities yesterday by voting YES on funding Israel’s genocide. They protect and serve the terrorists of the IOF while upholding white supremacist occupation and settler-colonialism in both Palestine and the Bronx.

The ICJ ruling was timid in a moment which cries out for moral clarity and spine. You don’t half-ass genocide. You condemn it as a crime against humanity. You draw a red line and demand the culprits be brought to justice.

Let this moment teach you what Palestinians have long understood: liberation will be seized, not granted. Palestine will not be liberated by Western courts and institutions but by revolutionary armed struggle and disruptive acts of international solidarity.
